As the U.S. stock market experiences a surge, led by chipmakers and technology giants, investors are keenly observing growth opportunities amidst a backdrop of record highs in major indices. In this vibrant market environment, companies with substantial insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often indicate confidence from those closest to the business's operations and future prospects.
